Chapter 587: Chapter 587 Singing a Different Tune

Zhang Tao was initially excited to show Shen Dong a few more things, but he was taken aback when he heard what Shen Dong said. What did the other party mean?

He had not yet mentioned directly listing the software on the market. Weren’t Shen Dong’s words now suggesting that he go public, and moreover, to disagree with him?

He had previously said that the software needed a bit more refinement and that they should wait for Shen Dong’s feedback before concluding. After all, Shen Dong was one of their major shareholders and had provided valuable input; he was a crucial part of the team. How could he let Lin Kai simply dismantle it like this? In any case, he would not allow it, and his face darkened as he spoke:

"I haven’t agreed to this yet, what’s going on here? I acknowledge that you all have worked hard these days, but the software is not yet fully formed. You’re thinking about pushing it to market just like that. Have you considered how much money we’ll lose if we do this? If we set a new date, we could make more money. You need to think long-term."

"Mr. Zhang, I understand your thoughts, but I feel that the most important thing for us now is to make money quickly. Look at all the effort we’ve put in these past days; it can’t be for nothing. After spending so much energy, should we still delay and spend time on revisions?"

"I feel there’s no need for that. Look, this software just has some bugs left to be fixed. Do you think an outsider is more important than us? We’ve been watching these days, and we really admire how you’ve stuck with us to this point, even though you’re from a wealthy background.

I also thought you would give up within a couple of days, but you proved through your perseverance that you’ll keep striving." Lin Kai said.

"Heh, to be young and so inexperienced. You don’t know how to seize an opportunity with such good prospects. You don’t realize how much return this investment could bring, and yet you have the audacity to say these things. I’m quite impressed with you, youngster.

Although I am young too, just look at the assets I own. I understand more than you do. Just based on your current software, do you believe that if you can’t release it, there won’t be people willing to invest? Because it lacks even the most basic functionalities.

I think it’s just an empty shell, essentially a basic framework. And you’re entertaining the thought that pushing this out will immediately attract a substantial investment—it’s really laugh-worthy. I don’t even know how to respond to that idea."

No wonder Shen Dong, having been through too many of these situations, could immediately guess what Lin Kai was thinking—he wanted to hog it all to himself. Shen Dong was definitely not going to let this happen. It was just a matter of whether he had the skill to do so, wasn’t it?

He could easily recruit a few people with such technical skills. Things had already escalated to this point, and Lin Kai remained obstinate, full of stubborn pride, absolutely unwilling to yield.

"If you all want to continue refining the software, go ahead. As for what comes later, I no longer intend to be involved. I’m already exhausted to this point. Do whatever you like. I don’t have much say, and expressing my views seems pointless to me. I don’t want to keep going like this.

If anyone wants to come with me, just follow me. We’ll carve out our own path and create our software without having to put up with anyone else’s threats. Wouldn’t that be better?"

After Lin Kai said this, he glanced at a few of his brothers who had been quite close to him, but even they could sense that the development potential here was exceptionally promising. None of them stood up willing to leave with him.

Shen Dong couldn’t help but snicker at this scene. It was really funny; he thought their relationships were much better than this, but now it seemed trivial otherwise.

"How can you guys be so lacking in ambition? Can’t you make money following me? You underestimate me too much. You should be able to see my capabilities here. Don’t you think I can do better than this person, who looks so smug?

This person looks like a big shot, but I believe following him won’t lead to any good development. If you believe in me, come over to my side quickly. There’s still a chance. I have a very good opportunity for development here. Just trust me once; I can lead us to a prosperous life." Lin Kai’s voice wavered a bit because he knew that this software would make a lot of money in the future. But having already burned bridges, of course he wanted to lure some of the technical staff away; if he could get a few technical people to leave, they would surely feel they couldn’t do without so many technicians, and would choose to keep him around.

In that case, knowing his high prestige within the team, wouldn’t doing anything become much easier? Who knew that this bunch would talk a good game, but when it came to taking action, not one dared to go solo with him. It was too absurd.

Anyway, he now saw this group clearly, yet deep down, there was still bitterness.

"Shi Jia, when we were discussing the project earlier, didn’t you participate? Didn’t you agree that my project could make money? Why aren’t you brave enough to go with me now?"

"And you, Lou Ming, we were like brothers, and now you’re backstabbing me. Do you think that’s appropriate? Each of you, with no spine at all, after spending so much effort here without any return, you’re still shamelessly sticking around. I’m growing more and more impressed by your thick skins.

If it were me, I’d have left already, just like I’m doing now. If you choose to stand with me and leave, I can still welcome you to join me in developing this project."

Lin Kai said these words with a faltering heart, already imagining how to make a big splash. With the framework in place and a general understanding of the content, why couldn’t he succeed? After all, he was also a rich kid, just out to experience life. Creating this should be a walk in the park; hadn’t they already communicated about this before?
